33 [F4M] Online - The plot is getting stale. Enter someone entertaining.

33 Upvotes

Hooooowdy, strangers.

Let’s get the bad out of the way: I’m having a wee bit of midlife (quarter life?) crisis. Like “what the hell is the point of any of this?” type of crisis. I’m in my thirties and starting to wonder if having my shit together is just being vaguely unhappy but remembering to pay the mortgage. You know? I thought during this time I would irresponsibly buy a mustang or dye my hair fire engine red but this is far less exciting.

This all sounds far more depressing than I intended but I’m also very available to argue about something completely unimportant! Or tell me about your crisis’… crisises... is there a plural to crisis?

Anyways, I miss getting to know someone and actually being curious about the answers. The little details. The increasingly questionable jokes once you figure out each other’s humor. Seeing something ridiculous and immediately knowing who to send it to.

Can be friendly, can be flirty, can be educational. Who freaking cares about anything! Okay, I posted. Now you go.

44 [F4M] Europe/US/Canada – To the hopefully last person I will ever date

23 Upvotes

I’ll just start off by saying that I thought I already found you a few times in my life. It turns out that not every deep love lasts forever, and people change over time. Who knew? Certainly not me in my 20s and 30s, for one.

So here I am, 44 and single, but with a life I love. I have a great job, I own my own flat, I have two cats and a dog, I love the few close friends I have, and I and my family are healthy. I really don’t need anything. I am perfectly content.

And after my last really long-term relationship ended I thought, “I have everything and then some. What more could I want? I don’t need a partner. My life is truly good.” And I did me for a while. It was nice.

And yet, there is the quiet, nagging feeling that a piece is missing. I miss having someone to snuggle with, to watch movies with, game with and trade banter with. To try new recipes with, share books with, get lost in the woods with. To have deep talks and silly laughs with. To rely on and to have them rely on me. A lover, a true partner, a best friend. To have and to hold, and all that sappy, wonderful shit. And that’s what I’m looking for.

What I am decidedly not looking for:
- Bigots
- People who don’t yet know what they want in a relationship.
- People that don’t realize that their value comes from within. You can’t start a serious relationship with someone if you don’t love yourself to begin with (thanks, RuPaul). Making someone else’s approval the source of your validation and worth is a lot of pressure to put on someone, and it is a recipe for disappointment.
- People not fully over their last relationship. I don’t just mean that you aren’t in love with the person anymore and dating sounds OK. That’s the easy part. I mean sitting down with yourself and looking through *all* the parts of the relationship and its ending that you didn’t like. And then working through those to the point that when you talk about the relationship, you don’t start ranting. In short, if you’re still talking shit about your ex, this point is about you.
- People whose idea of a reasonable end to a romantic relationship is ghosting (if they are not in immediate danger). I don’t have time or space in my life for that level of cowardice and lack of respect. I can’t even believe that this is a thing nowadays. Maybe I am just old.
- Lovebombers and future fakers. Don’t waste my time; I am not some diversion for your boring Sunday afternoon. Time is the most precious thing there is and once given, you can never get it back.

(An aside: I am so, so sorry to have had to include this ranty ass list, but honestly, dating these days is a minefield that I never could have anticipated.)

An additional point: I would be remiss in saying that looks don’t matter. They do. I really appreciate someone who takes care of themselves, and is clean, healthy, and (truly) active, because I am. But something I’ve learned with age is that what someone finds physically attractive is mostly subjective; it changes with time. And what matters more is the ability to connect, really connect, and feel like both people (please excuse the upcoming hippy dippy crap) are vibrating at the same frequency. At any rate, I’ve included a single picture of myself from about a month ago to give an idea of the visual.

So maybe we start slow. We exchange some messages. And we take our time. Weeks, months, however long it takes. Distance isn’t a factor if the intentionality is there. What matters is that the goal is the same, and we are aligned on it and reaching it together. And it means having the emotional availability to pursue something together, and the time and willingness to do so. Oh, and painfully open and honest communication. :-)

So here I am, and I’m not going anywhere. Where are you?

Some interests of mine: books (especially anything Victorian, dark, and spooky), video games (not too picky, love historical but not a huge fan of online FPS), movies (literally any genre, but Interstellar is one of my favorite films), hiking, pilates, linguistics (yeah, nerd shit!), getting a great night’s sleep, cooking with friends, comedy (I love standup), and cutting banter. That’s just to get started, there’s a lot more to me.

If something resonated with you, send me a message telling me what exactly resonated and why, and one current picture of you.

(P.S. I’m located in Europe.)

37 [F4M] Anywhere | Looking for my forever person to do life with

13 Upvotes

Hello! 😊

I'm 37, never married, no kids, and hoping to meet a man who wants to build a genuine, lasting relationship that leads to marriage and, hopefully, a family.

I live on a farm, and I love the kind of life it offers. I enjoy tending to my vegetable garden, planting fruit trees with the hope of one day having my own orchard, and looking after the animals. There's something lovely about watching them go about their day, completely unbothered, while I get on with mine. I suppose I'm drawn to a slower, more grounded way of living.

When I'm not outdoors, I enjoy getting lost in a good book, crocheting, playing chess, or simply enjoying a peaceful morning. I appreciate good conversation, comfortable silences, and the kind of company where neither person feels the need to fill every moment.

I'd love a relationship where we can laugh together, talk about anything, enjoy the little things, and make an ordinary Tuesday feel special simply because we're sharing it with someone we love.

I'm not looking for someone to complete me or for a relationship that needs constant excitement to stay alive. I'd love to find someone who wants to build a life together, with all the little routines, shared dreams, affection, and occasional challenges that come with it.

I'm drawn to a man who's kind, honest, emotionally mature, and consistent. Someone who communicates openly, takes commitment seriously, and understands that a healthy relationship isn't about never having disagreements; it's about how two people handle them.

Marriage and children are things I genuinely want, so I'd love to meet someone who shares those hopes and is ready to pursue them intentionally. I'm not looking to rush into a commitment with a stranger, but I'd like us both to know we're dating with the same purpose in mind.

I'm open to meeting someone from anywhere. Distance isn't ideal forever, of course, but I'm willing to explore a genuine connection and see where it leads.

Ideally, you're around 36–45 and looking for a relationship with a future, not just someone to pass the time with.

Maybe we can start with a conversation and see if there's something worth building. 🙂

14 Upvotes

I'm joking, of course. Unless you know how to dance. In which case, you can be my plus one.

Anyways, hi. I'm back with a major life update. Finally left that shitty job 🥳🥳 No more running pissy samples. I'm back to my molecular roots. To celebrate, let's get to yapping.

About me:

• I work in a lab. Yes, I wear a lab coat. No, I don't look cool wearing it.

• Big fan of hiking, hot girl walks, and photosynthesizing.

• Trying to become my hottest self before my friend's wedding by doing Pilates, but realizing I have a great personality.

• Connoisseur of coffee shops and sweet treats in the north
NJ area

About you:

• Average to above average dancer (please teach me
SOMETHING so I don't embarrass myself at this wedding)

• A foodie so we can order different dishes to share

• Not a Scorpio.. I can't deal with that right now

• Brown eyes I can get lost in

All jokes aside, let's chat about the things going right in life.
Let's share our fav new coffee shop or restaurant. Or we can vent about our weird coworkers or that awful date that you had. It would be lovely if you were also a Jersey guy/gal. Happy chatting! 😊

37 [M4F] WI - Just looking for my forever person, no pressure or anything.

14 Upvotes

Hey. I hope you have a snack because this is probably going to be long. And I don't mean long like two paragraphs, I mean this is legitimately going to be a manifesto. Leave now while you have the chance. Also, forewarning, this is going to be train-of-thought because I really want this to sound like it's actually me (spoiler: it is actually me).

I want to preface everything with what I'm looking for. I am totally cool with chatting with folks from anywhere. I do enjoy getting to chat casually with people from other places, different backgrounds, all that stuff. I think it's valuable to hear other perspectives and get a healthy respect for the lives others are living. So if you wind up reading this and I sound like a neat dude to chat with, by all means, shoot me a message. But ultimately, I am hoping to find a partner so if you're a woman within about a hundred miles of SE WI, you should DEFINITELY send me a message! lol. I recognize it's unlikely at my age that someone is interested in relocating- and, truly, I am not interested in it either, so if you're across the country a romantic relationship really isn't in the cards.

Let's start with me. I'm 37, which is entirely too old to be posting for a girlfriend on reddit, but here we are. I teach high school physics and am in year 10 (woo double digits!). I really do love what I do, but I don't live and breathe teaching or physics- my life outside of school is also very important to me. I'm definitely a nerd, though- I am also the esports coach for our school, and I coordinate the mtg club that we have so that's sorta the trifecta right? Being into science, videogames, and magic the gathering? I'm 3 for 3. I do try to cultivate a healthy adult life outside of school, though. I spent time this summer starting to garden and bake, both of which are very new to me. I baked about a dozen loaves of bread and four or five loaves of banana bread, and I'm working up the stones to try some other sweet bakery soon (I have a recipe for apple cider cinnamon rolls that I REALLY want to try!). I planted some dahlias in the backyard and they are STILL growing at a pretty terrifying rate- my next project is to figure out how to overwinter them! I cook almost all of my meals and it's often the highlight of my day- food is so important to me! I love trying out new recipes once or twice a week, but I've definitely got my specialties (curry and pasta). I play piano pretty regularly and used to play guitar- it's been sitting in my basement for over a year. But I'd say once a week or so I sit down and just mess around on my piano for a while.

My lifestyle is probably best described as "simple". I have learned the value of a quiet morning with a cup of coffee, or an afternoon walk in the fall sun watching leaves fall from the trees, or curling up under a warm blanket and a book during a storm. I don't feel any need to prove myself to others, which I think can come off as cold, but really I think I just march to the beat of my own drum. I own a pretty modest house very close to work and I'm able to walk to school every day (honestly, you don't know how great this is). I have a car but there's something about walking to work that I can't give up- it's a little time to reflect, get some fresh air, transition to/from "school mode"... it's great. I do try to travel once or twice a year, in the summer, and it's often to Florida as my folks have a place there. This coming summer, my dad convinced me to go to Africa with him and that's a HUGE jump from the travel I'm used to so I'm gearing up for that! But generally I am a homebody, and I am an introvert, so it will be a very novel experience for me.

Some "dating app" style info about me might be helpful. I'm looking for someone around 30-40 years old. I'm liberal and I am atheist. I hope it is clear from this post so far, but I think I am reasonably articulate and I appreciate intelligent conversation and humor. I'm absolutely childfree- I have no desire to have kids or be a dad. I love my nieces and nephews but nope, no kids for this guy (the snip coming soon!). I don't smoke at all but I enjoy a good drink (sucker for an old fashioned, what can I say, I'm a Wisconsinite). I want something long-term, ideally marriage (not that the label matters, but a lifelong partnership is what I'm looking for), but I'm not a crazy person and know that things have to happen pretty naturally- definitely not in the market to force anything. I've had some long relationships (last was almost six years, the one before that was five years) so I have it in me, but I just haven't found my person yet. I really value quality time (to be cliche, it is my "love language") and ultimately I guess I just want to have someone where we can wrap our lives together for the better. Someone who appreciates a simple life with no serious worries or drama. I own my home and I am debt-free. I work out four days a week and really try to take care of my health otherwise (diet/mental). I like to flirt but only when I know 100% that I can shoot my shot- is that even flirting at that point? As mentioned I am solidly in my career and am hoping for a partner who is similar. Not just in that, but in all of the above. We don't need a 100% match on everything but most of it is pretty important on both sides, I'd imagine. You can lurk my profile and see what I look/sound like; I'm pretty open with that, for better or worse. I know attraction is important so please be similarly open if you're serious.

I'm looking for a true equal partner. For me it's about time and effort. I want someone who wants to invest their time and energy in me, and vice versa. I'm getting jaded, but still really hoping that my "forever person" is out there- I am realizing that I have to put in the effort to make that happen, which is partially why I'm posting in the first place. Communication and trust are at the top of my list of what is important in a relationship. I especially want a relationship where the time and effort (on both sides) never feels like a chore- we should both feel like we're dating out of our league! lol. I'm also looking for someone who can challenge me, push me out of my comfort zone, make me think deeper about things- someone with a strong sense of their own morality.

Fun fact time! Some rapid-fire stuff that might give you a launch pad for an initial message/conversation. I was music director of a radio station in high school for two years (loved it). I go on an annual "siblings trip" with my brother and sister and their families and while I love it, it is chaos being around six children for a week in an enclosed space lol. I am really self-conscious of the way I talk. I have two cats who are both gorgeous. I've been coding a videogame "mod" for like five years now and it's been a fun project, but I'm not even close to done. My mtg collection is worth more than my house. I used to stream on twitch pretty regularly. I grew up playing Pokemon and Diablo II and still consider them some of my favorite games. I have a couple tattoos and am looking to get more, but every time I come up with an idea it's been done eight million times already and I reconsider because I have this weird anxiety about the tattoo artist rolling their eyes and being like "wow only the 30th time I've done this tattoo this month" or something. Yes, I know that is a very particular worry lol. I am super close with my family, especially my parents- my siblings both have 3 kids so they don't have nearly as much time to spend with me as I'd like. I drink my coffee black. I don't eat eggs, mushrooms, or popcorn. PC > console. Probably 90% of my wardrobe is some shade of grey or brown (the joys of being a male teacher, lol)- I try to jazz up my outfits with socks, and have about a dozen "weird" pairs.

Thanks for reading! You made it! I'm looking forward to getting to chat.

33 [F4M] #Ohio - chemistry and emotional availability is the dream

13 Upvotes

This last year I’ve worked really hard and tried to get to the best version of myself physically and mentally. Being happy and content with myself and my life was always the goal and now I feel ready to see what’s out there. I have no expectations but as a girl who loves hard and seeks the same, I am hoping to find someone I can build a deeper connection with.

I’m in a helping field so it’s not a surprise that I’m empathetic and have compassion in spades, sometimes to a fault. I’m happiest with someone who enjoys deep conversations just as much as joking around. Outside of work, I can usually be found with a book. I love reading and am always open to recommendations. I do play a select few video games but would not consider myself a gamer. I’m definitely a homebody at heart, but I also love spending a weekend exploring a new park, trying a restaurant I’ve never been to, or wandering somewhere new just because I can.

Physically, I’m short, petite, and curvy. I have dark curly hair and brown eyes. I’ve been on a pretty big health journey this past year and am excited for the future with this new version of myself.

What I’m looking for is someone emotionally mature, kind, and knows what they want. I’ll admit I have a GIANT soft spot for bigger, burly men, especially if there’s a beard and tattoos involved. In all seriousness though, who you are will always matter more than how you look.

This is already too long so I’m going to leave it here and hope for the best.

45 [F4M] Houston TX. Nerdy woman looking for some companionship

10 Upvotes

I’m divorced with two grown kids, pretty good job, my life is good. Except for the part where I spend most of my time alone. I’m AuDHD so I need time to recharge, but I also have trouble meeting new people because I’m an introvert. I don’t do dating apps, and I’m shy in person. Maybe Reddit has a demographic that would allow me to meet someone more like me, though.

I have a lot of interests - gardening, rock/fossil collecting, history, hiking and camping, reading, anime, baseball, and arts/crafts. I casually play Magic the Gathering. I have cats. Heavy metal concerts are one of the few things that get me out of the house, and I’d like to have someone who enjoys concerts and can go with me.

Im fairly liberal, but politics aren’t my personality. I rarely drink and don’t do drugs (but I’m 420-friendly). I drink a lot of coffee and I love cheese.

I’m not looking to rush into anything, but hope to be in a monogamous relationship eventually. I’m interested in finding a man around my age with similar circumstances in life so we can relate well. Close to Houston would be preferable.

DM me if you’d like to talk.

34 [F4R] France - French mom seeks comradeship during this trying time

9 Upvotes

Hello all,

I’m a 34 years old French women - and mom of 2 who is recently separated from the father.

I’m also a lawyer, but currently taking care of my kids till next year.

Which means I’m alone with kids a lot. And it kinda gets lonely at times.

I’m looking for someone witty to keep me company on a daily basis.

About my hobbies : I am a big historian nerd. I spend way too much money on skincare and make up. I’m also a proud member of the Pilates reformer & matcha club. I have a very dry humor. I complain a lot (it’s in my dna).

I tend to get along better with career driven/disciplined people.

If this speaks to you, hit me up!

34F [F4M] I know that meaningful connections don’t happen overnight, and I don’t expect to find a relationship right away.

8 Upvotes

About Me

34F lives in the US

My Life and Interests

I enjoy the simple things that make everyday life beautiful. I like coffee, cooking, reading, going for walks, and traveling when I have the opportunity. I also enjoy quiet evenings at home, with no need to rush anywhere, just relaxing and enjoying the moment.

To me, life doesn’t always have to be about exciting activities or big adventures. Sometimes, the most meaningful moments are the ordinary ones spent with the right person.

The Kind of Person I Hope to Meet

I usually find it easier to connect naturally with men who are older than me. However, I believe maturity, character, and how two people treat each other matter much more than age.

I hope to meet a thoughtful man who is willing to invest emotionally in a relationship rather than simply pass the time.

I’d like to learn about your life, interests, goals, and the little things that have made you who you are today.

What matters most to me is that we can be ourselves, communicate openly, and treat each other with patience and understanding.

I also understand that everyone has a life outside of dating. I don’t expect us to message each other constantly throughout the day. I believe what truly matters is having meaningful conversations and feeling that the interest and effort are mutual.

Perhaps we’ll introduce each other to new foods, different perspectives, or little things we might never have discovered on our own.

If things go well, I hope we can eventually build a peaceful and supportive relationship that also has its own unique joys, where both people feel valued and understood.

I know no relationship is perfect, and I’m not looking for perfection. I’m looking for someone who is willing to invest sincerely and see what we can build together.

I’d Also Love to Get to Know You

What does a good relationship look like to you? What do you usually enjoy doing when you have a day to yourself? Is there anything you’ve always wanted to share with a partner? It could be a hobby, a tradition, a place you’d love to travel to, or simply the everyday moments of life.

If you feel we might get along after reading this, feel free to send me a message and tell me a little about yourself. Rather than exchanging a few generic introductions, I’d much rather get to know the real person behind the profile.

I’m also open to meeting someone who lives in another part of the United States, as long as we’re both willing to make a genuine effort to get to know each other and can realistically work through the challenges of distance.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I hope you find what you’re looking for, too.

Hi All! I am a biologist and enjoy spending time outdoors, especially at the ocean, and looking for unique wildlife. When I’m not outside I’m usually at home binge watching tv shows, building Lego sets, playing with my dog, or playing video games. I have a very laidback personality and approach life with a go with the flow attitude.

I’m looking for a woman who is also easy going but also up for adventures when the opportunity arises. I’m mostly into white and Latina women, but I’m open-minded so please feel free to reach out if you think we would mesh well. I’d like to be physically attracted to you, but looks aren’t everything to me. My DMs are open so please feel free to reach out to me so we can get to know each other more!

I’m a 46 year old divorced male. It’s not recent so I’m not in that denial phase of saying I’m ok or everything is good. I worked hard to get to a place where the connection and companionship of a woman is something I am choosing and not needing.

Things are different since the last time I dated. I’m curious do women even flirt anymore? I would like to know since I rarely see it anymore. Maybe I’m in the wrong areas.

Im looking for someone to chat with beyond Reddit. Become chat buddies and move up to exchanging numbers and maybe eventually enjoying each others company in person. I’m open to connecting outside of my area but it is a preference to meet someone close.

Im and easygoing man and I enjoy the simple things. Time with my kids, conversations, good food and making and enjoying moments in life. Oh and laughter, we need to be able to laugh together. I love telling stories and getting a good laugh from someone is a plus.

Drop me a comment or send me a DM. I am interested in the people I will get to chat with. Oh and flirting is allowed!

38 [F4R] Utah/Online - Looking for friends and maybe more.

5 Upvotes

I'm 38, live in Utah, and pretty much have my shit together. I own my place, live with my cats, and work in criminal justice. Never married, no kids. I semi-recently ended a long-term relationship, and I'm taking this time to focus on myself—working being healthier, figuring out what makes me happy, and just trying to build a life I genuinely enjoy.

I'm relatively introverted, but I'm working on being a little more adventurous. I love to travel, listen to all kinds of music, read, play games, and probably spend too much time (and money) on puzzles and LEGO sets.

I'm not looking for anything specific or trying to force a friendship or relationship. I'd just love to find a genuine connection and see where it goes.

If any of that sounds like you, feel free to message me.

Because true friendship, regardless if it's a romantic relationship at the same time, is hard to find.

Well, to me at least. It needs this similar shaped kind of human. A little fucked up, varied interests, a healthy portion of humor and also confident.

I am these things but also soft and sensitive. I know my weak points though and try to communicate :)

I like food and talking about it, coffee, music, art. Being outdoors but also video games at home.

This here can be anything. Let's just see what we have in common. Around 25 - 40 would be the ideal age.

To my future man, whoever you are:

I'm not going to tell you my whole story here. That's for later—over coffee, or a long walk, or a night when neither of us wants to go home yet. But I wanted to put something out into the world, because I've spent too long waiting quietly.

What I'm looking for isn't complicated. Someone who shows up—not perfectly, not always on time, but someone who doesn't disappear when things get hard. Someone who knows the difference between listening and waiting for his turn to talk. Someone who's done some work on himself. Not finished—nobody's finished—but someone who's looked in the mirror and didn't flinch.

I'm drawn to people who love something—a craft, a hobby, a calling, a place. Passion looks good on a person. But I'll know it's right when he lights up across a room just because I walked in. And someone who can laugh at himself—serious when it matters, but not too serious to be human.

There's a difference between soft and tender, and I'm looking for tender. Strong enough to be gentle. Someone who's held something fragile without breaking it.

I'm not looking for a project, and I'm not looking to be one. I'm looking for someone to walk beside.

What I bring: I'm honest. Loyal. A little intense, and I'm learning to be okay with that. Funny in a dry way that some people don't get—and that's fine. I notice things. Small things, details, the stuff other people walk past. I'm learning to live with an open hand instead of a clenched fist.

And let me paint the picture: I'm 53. Long auburn hair that is never, ever getting cut. Blue eyes. I love being a woman—the feminine thing isn't a costume for me, it's home. I take good care of myself. I'm 5'9" with a figure I'm proud of—curves in all the right places, the kind of build that's feminine but solid. I own it.

And I've already sent something out. Call it an arrow, call it a signal—either way, it's in the air now, looking for its target. Somewhere out there is its counterpart, blinking back. I'm just waiting for the two to find each other.

I'm not in a hurry. Not desperate. Not looking for someone to complete me—I'm already whole. Looking for someone to share the wholeness with.

So if you're out there, and something in this feels familiar—look up. My satellite's been blinking for a while now. I hope you find me. I'll be the one who looks up when you walk in.

Hello :)

I'm looking for someone to share everyday life with. Nothing intense or complicated. Just good conversation, easy company, and seeing where things go.

I work full-time in research and generally prefer a quieter life. I enjoy travelling, good food, long walks, little picnics, and spending time outdoors in nature. Mountains are my happy place.

I am currently in Norway and will be here until the end of this year, so bonus points if you can recommend places that aren't in every travel guide. I live in India otherwise.

I recently came out of a short marriage in April this year; he cheated. No kids.

If you'd like to chat, send me your age and you're from.

Both men and women are welcome. Always happy to make new friends :)

Talk soon.

Hello there everyone 36M Sacramento, CA - Single dad of three looking for a partner to share road trips and movie nights with

Body:

Hey Reddit. Quick intro: I'm 36, a single dad of three with a great job and a good life. I'm looking for a woman around my age, preferably in the Sacramento area, who wants a real partner.

Me:

Road trips, good playlist, questionable gas station snacks

Dining out, movies, shows, or staying in for a binge (anime welcome)

I listen to rock and country, but I'll take anything that's good

I play video games in my free time, so if you do too, bonus. If not, just be cool with me hopping on now and then

You:

Around my age and in my area

Already have kids, or don't want any. My kids are old enough to understand, and I'm looking for a partner, not a stepmom

Kind, funny, and someone I'm physically attracted to (I'm not picky)

Introverts are a plus. A quiet night in is my kind of night

If that sounds like you, shoot me a DM with a bit about yourself.

42 [M4F] Spring Hill – Single Dad, Educator, Guitarist & Puppy Parent Looking for a Genuine Connection

4 Upvotes

Hey there, thanks for stopping by!
I’m 42, recently divorced, and stepping into a fresh chapter of life with a positive outlook, a clear head, and a full heart. I work as a high school educator and administrator, which basically means my days are filled with solving problems, staying patient, and finding humor in the everyday chaos. Lately, I’ve been focusing heavily on my health, fitness, and overall well-being—taking care of myself and making sure I feel as good as I look.
When I’m off the clock, music is a central part of my life. I play both acoustic and electric guitar, love discovering new tracks, and always enjoy catching live shows or swapping playlists. I’m also a big sports fan, whether that means keeping up with college football and basketball, watching pro games, or grabbing a bite to catch a matchup. Home life stays lively as a single dad, especially now that I’ve added a goofy, adorable 6-month-old Golden Retriever puppy to the household. He will definitely try to steal your heart, and I’m not above using his charm to land a second date.
By nature, I’m easygoing, witty, and grounded. I appreciate clever banter, quick humor, and having a good laugh with someone who doesn't take life too seriously.
I’m looking to meet a woman who is warm, confident, and genuine—someone who enjoys great conversation and creating genuine memories together. Whether that’s exploring a local spot, relaxing with a drink and live music, getting outside for a change of scenery, or just enjoying a cozy night in where chemistry takes over, I’m ready to share quality time with someone who makes life feel just a little sweeter.
If you appreciate a guy who is secure, funny, knows how to play a few chords, and respects your time, send me a message. Tell me a bit about yourself, your favorite artist or band, or what your ideal weekend looks like.
Looking forward to hearing from you. 😉

36[M4F] Introvert seeking their extrovert in NM

4 Upvotes

Have you been wanting someone to talk to when things are rough? How about someone that you just want to share an exciting thing that happened? Or maybe someone to just drag around to places. Well, do I have an offer for you!

I am a nerdy guy in the southwest looking for a friend who can poke and prod me to get moving. My tastes are pretty eclectic when it comes to hobbies from music (both playing and listening and the genres are all over the place), concerts, movies, theater, video and tabletop games and a ton more that get equally nerdy and weird.

I do have tattoos, and I love anything involving horror, the occult, cryptids, and tons more. The problem is that I am slowly slipping into becoming a hermit, and that's the last thing I want/need. So if you feel up to the task or just want to see what kind of weirdo I am, feel free to send me a message!

43 [F4R] Aussie Seeking Friends

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm a socially awkward somewhat autistic queer F who has realised that the downside to being an introvert is not having anyone to talk to.

I love cats and crafts and horror and sci-fi. I read a lot and have a few favourite games on my PC. I like the spooky and macabre. I would have called myself a goth many years ago but was never any good at make-up!

I'm looking for platonic friends. I have a beautiful MTF wife, and two teenagers who wish I would socialise and be less boring.

35 [F4R] France, Belgium - I'm moving to France in January, would love a friend or two! I like bikes, photography, taskmaster

3 Upvotes

Hey all!

I'm a 35 y/o Canadian moving to Lille or Roubaix at the end of January for one year. I don't know anyone in that part of the world, so it would be cool to meet someone to chat with! Just platonic.

I like photography (sports photography specifically) which is my main reason for moving.

I'd love to meet someone who enjoys following cycling.
I like bikes too, though I'm no roadie. I've rebuilt a 1980s Peugeot to use for touring. It has rhinestone valve caps and purple heart cable ends 🥹

I used to work in community management, but for now I have a small business selling antique jewelry.

I was ill and living a very boring life for the last 6 years. I am incredibly excited that my health is (mostly) back and I can get back to adventures! I used to do a lot of backpacking. Lived in Scotland for 2 years, Ireland for a year, and was always up to something new.

My French is horrible 😭 I have a few months to replace charades with words. I promise I won't make your practice with me, this is just your warning that English is my default 😅

31 [M4R] #NY #Online I just want to yap with someone who loves yapping and listening to yaps. Are you a yapper AND a listener? Yap me up.

3 Upvotes

Look I'm cutting to the chase here, which is unusual for a yapper like me. I am looking to yap, not just text, and certainly not snail mail. I know we all got busy lives yadda yadda, but some of us prefer the warm voice of another human being, over the cold and distant text message. I'm not saying we can't text (especially when first feeling it out) but if that's the only form of communication, it gets stale quick 😮‍💨

Things about me to know before yapping me up:

- I'm in a happy monogamous relationship and not looking for anything other than friendship

- I'm very caring, wear my heart on my sleeve type of person. I am the person people walk up to and tell their life story to, and trust me with sensitive information (which isn't always fun 🤣)

- I am open-minded and outspoken, and I do not get along with those who live their lives with hate in their hearts (especially if that hate is towards queers, women, disabled, or non-white)

- I do not like most men. I grew up getting along with mostly women, and finding myself disgusted by the way many men talk, and how they often treat others. However, I am open to talking to men…I'm just much more cautious and picky.

- My hobbies include (but are not limited to) gaming, game design, reading, narrating, voice acting, writing, music, movies, TV, and driving.

I think I've covered enough ground there. Yap soon!

39 [M4F] #SoCal looking for some fun conversation to end these Monday blues

3 Upvotes

Monday’s suck and today is no exception! The best cure for Monday Blues? Some captivating conversations with someone I just can’t get enough of.

I’m looking for the instant chemistry where 3 hours feels like 3 mins and before we know it we’re talking about dinner plans and saying good night.

About me is that I’m a romantic at heart, love to keep active, have 2 kids who love to death, am a mildly successful gardener, great cook, and excellent conversationalist. I consider myself pretty attractive and am in great shape!

I tend to be drawn towards confidence, charm, and a pretty face. Smart girls who know what they want to the front of the line please!

Come drop me a DM and say hi so we can both find something much more interesting to do on this lovely Monday.

Talk soon!

32[F4M], #Idaho #Online, looking for meaningful conversation

2 Upvotes

I’m hoping to give Reddit another shot.
Please no inappropriate messages as a hello, I won’t accept.

If we connect I’m happy to exchange pictures but for a quick description I’m 5’0”, curves, long blonde/brown hair and tattoos.

I’m looking for something on the old-fashioned side of romance. Someone I can be soft around. Someone who can lead without being controlling. Dating apps are burning me out beyond belief and I just want to talk with someone who wants something similar. I’m attracted to the dynamic age gap relationships embody as well (older men only, please).

I love writing out thoughtful messages and I’m hoping to find someone who enjoys it as well.

About me:
I’m 32|F, I live with my cat and dog in a cozy cottage style space. I have myself together and I’m looking for someone who has the same. I’m mostly a homebody, I enjoy sewing, embroidery, reading, baking, anything craft or diy related. It would be ideal to find someone that enjoys existing in the same space while doing our own hobbies, or sharing them.

I’m sober and while I don’t mind going out here and there I don’t think I will connect well with someone who enjoys that environment all the time. I love the idea of having smaller get togethers, friends over for dinner and etc. I love early coffee dates, slow mornings, thrifting and late night card games.

If any of this resonated with you feel free to say hi.
